One of my favorite things to do is find upscale looking pieces on a budget! Stores like Zara, H&M, and Mango have all gotten really good about keeping up with the latest trends and styles and I frequent both their stores and websites weekly. I will share some of the pieces I have been loving for fall + winter and some staple pieces I always gravitate towards. Most girls in New York + Paris are actually shopping at these stores but then accessorizing with higher end pieces. :)
ZARA
I bought these knit joggers/sweatpants on a whim recently and they are the BEST ever. They are super stretchy and soft, but still warm and don’t look too slouchy. They have a good fit and can easily be dressed up or worn as pajamas :)
These are without a doubt my go-to jeans. After falling in love with the trend of raw edge, lighter wash, looser fitting denim I wanted a pair, but also didn’t want to spend $200+ dollars. These are $40!!! They are super flattering on and very comfortable. They do stretch so don’t be afraid to size down one.
This sweater has been my go to for the past year now and it’s also super warm! I love Mango for sweaters because they are very high quality, simple yet stylish, and are reasonably priced for the quality. They have lots of great pieces out right now and they also have great sales!
I also go to Mango for wool coats and chunky knit sweaters. These two pieces have been on rotation a lot as the weather has gotten colder.
H&M
I love to go to H&M for basic dresses and skirts, as well as basic tops! Their t-shirts (long sleeve + short sleeve) are usually $12 and are awesome. I always stock up on white short sleeved tees, black + grey long sleeve tees, and some neutral sweaters.
